Why Pulp Fiction Is Overrated: Revisiting Tarantino’s Revolution In Cinema
Here’s why Pulp Fiction is totally overrated (Photo Credit – Prime Video)
It’s been 25 years, and let’s be honest: Pulp Fiction might not be the game-changer we once thought it was. Sure, Tarantino’s flick dropped jaws with its non-linear structure, killer dialogue, and mix of violence and humor. But looking back, does it still hold up, or was it just a flashy trick that’s been done a thousand times since?
The whole non-linear storytelling thing was cool back then. Tarantino threw out the rulebook, freshly connecting disconnected stories. But now? It’s not precisely mind-blowing anymore. Every indie filmmaker’s done something like that since.
And let’s talk about that violent humor combo. You’d go from a brutal shootout to a laugh-out-loud joke. Tarantino pulled it off like a pro, but it feels more like a tired formula than a wild innovation today. Shock value isn’t new anymore.
